It sets out that suppliers should expect a fair return for the goods and services they provide. The Sourcing Playbook does not set out target profit margins as this is dependent on a range of factors, including market competitiveness and the level of risk transfer. Contracting authorities are responsible for ensuring they maximise value for money from their contracts.</p> answering member constituency Brentwood and Ongar answering member printed Alex Burghart question first answered 22/02/2024 17:04:36 answering member 4613 label Biography information for Alex Burghart

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2024 answer text <p>The Spring Budget announcement confirms how the department will uplift costs in future years. The department will use average earnings growth and National Living Wage to forecast how staff costs are changing for providers and CPI (a general measure of inflation) to forecast how non-staff costs will change.</p><p>By the 2027/28 financial year, this government will expect to be spending in excess of £8 billion every year on free hours and early education, helping working families with their childcare costs. This represents the single biggest investment in childcare in England ever.</p><p>The estimated £500 million for 2025/26 and 2026/27, represents the additional cost of increasing funding rates, in line with these metrics and based on current forecasts, compared to if funding rates were kept at 2024/25 levels. A portion of this funding is reflected in the totals announced for the new entitlements at Spring Budget 2023 (and in table 4.1 referenced), which applied the same approach to uplifting funding rates as has been confirmed for 2025/26 and 2026/27 this week.
